Abstract

Strict adherence to medication is paramount for successful treatment of chronic hepatitis B (CHB). The
purpose of this study was to evaluate the treatment adherence of CHB patients during treatment.
Subjects and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study with analysis of 73 patients aged 22 to 74 years
with CHB diagnosis being treated with the antiviral medication Tenofovir 300mg at the Hepatitis clinic, Duc
Giang General Hospital (August 2021 - December 12, 2021).
Results and conclusions: In 73 study subjects, the mean age was 56 years old, men accounted for 60.3%.
There were 49 patients with good adherence to treatment, accounting for 67.1% while 24 patients had poor compliance, accounting for 32.9%. Adherent patients had better disease knowledge, good physician relationship, and fewer barriers than poor compliance patients. The proportion of patients who do not use adherence support measures but only rely on habits accounts for 52%, the most commonly used means of compliance support is the telephone ringing (38.3%). The rate of poor adherence in the group with treatment duration ≤ 5 years was 4.3 times higher than the group > 5 years
